Representatives from the New Mexico Congressional Delegation, the City of Albuquerque, Sunport International Airport and the Chamber participated in the unveiling.
The airline hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week attended by esteemed guests including federal, city and state officials, and airport and chamber executives to mark its expansion at Albuquerque International Sunport. The aerospace sector locally is thriving, and employs nearly 16,000 professionals, contributing $2 billion to regional GDP in Albuquerque.
"Throughout my time in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, I’ve worked hard to position New Mexico at the nation’s centre of innovation and leadership on advanced technologies,” said U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.). “The important work Reliable Airlines is doing in our state to improve aviation safety and strengthen national security is crucial to helping us achieve that goal. I look forward to continuing our work together to connect underserved communities to new opportunities, grow our economy, and support careers New Mexicans can build their families around.”
"New Mexico's 1st congressional district plays a pivotal role in pioneering innovative aerospace technologies that move our nation forward," said U.S. Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury (D-NM). "Encouraging and attracting young people to careers in STEM is a priority of mine, and the advanced automation technologies that will be part of the Reliable Airlines fleet represent a bright future for aviation in Albuquerque."
